Thousands Answer The Call But Red Cross Blood Shortage Continues Thousands of people have responded to the emergency call for blood and platelet donations issued by the American Red Cross in early July, but there continues to be a critical summer blood shortage. Eligible donors of all types are urgently needed. After issuing the emergency call, the Red Cross experienced a 30 percent increase in blood donation appointments through mid-July. About half of the appointments were scheduled by donors using the free Blood Donor App or at redcrossblood.org. Despite this improvement, blood products are still being distributed to hospitals as fast as donations are coming in, so more donations are needed to meet patient needs and replenish the blood supply. “The blood supply is like a cell phone battery, it constantly needs recharging,” said Bernadette Jay of the Mid-Atlantic & Appalachian Blood Services Regions. “We sincerely appreciate those who have responded to the call to help save lives and encourage those who haven’t to consider rolling up a sleeve and give the gift of life. It only takes about an hour but can mean a lifetime for patients.” Nearly 61,000 fewer blood donations than needed were given through the Red Cross in May and June, prompting the emergency call for donations in early July. The shortfall was
the equivalent of the Red Cross not receiving any blood donations for more than four days. How to Help To schedule an appointment to donate, use the Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce the time it takes to donate. As a special thank you, those who come out to give blood or platelets with the Red Cross between now and Aug. 31, will be emailed a $5 Target eGiftCard™.* Who Blood and Platelet Donations Help Blood shortages could lead to delays in patient care, something Arthur Bourget learned firsthand after being diagnosed with leukemia in July 2007. When he arrived for his second blood transfusion, he was told the blood he needed was not available. He waited eight hours for blood to arrive and to receive the transfusion he needed that day. “One thing that I committed to my wife was that I was going to beat leukemia, no matter what, and I was going to do that,” said Bourget. “But what I wasn’t going to be able to do was survive without the blood that I needed.” Bourget went into remission following a successful treatment plan, which included 28 blood and 34 platelet transfusions. He has been a faithful advocate for blood donations ever since.
“If it wasn’t for the generosity of volunteer blood donors, I would not be here today,” he said. “My daughter would not have a father, and my wife would not have a husband. Thank you and please give blood. You may never know the life you have saved, but I guarantee they will never forget you.” What to Know About Giving Blood To make an appointment or more information, simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site. About the American Red Cross.

Atlantic Coast Pipeline Update: Official Documents Irredeemably Flawed On Friday, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) released its Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Atlantic Coast
Pipeline (ACP). Also on Friday, the United States Forest Service released its draft Record of Decision that could allow permitting of the ACP through the George Washington and Monongahela National Forests. Friends of Nelson concludes that these documents are “irredeemably flawed.” The reports rely solely on the project developer’s claims of need for the 600-mile, $5.2 billion pipeline, which would yield substantial profit for Dominion Energy and the other private companies behind the project, while the public would be saddled with the long-term and permanent financial, environmental and health costs. Ernie Reed, President of Friends of Nelson noted “The FEIS paints a terrifying picture of a bleak future: 4,892 acres of interior forest habitat would be eliminated, creating 30,025 acres of new forest edge habitat and destroying 214 acres of National Forests...1,669 waterbody crossings, threatening native trout streams and severing Potomac, James and Roanoke River watersheds...permanent scars on the Appalachian Trail...100 miles of construction on steep slopes including those in Nelson County…and the truth is actually worse, as the combined impacts of the ACP and MVP (Mountain Valley Pipeline) are never considered...” “It is beyond shocking that FERC has thus far not completed essential biological studies or consultation with the US Department of Fish and Wildlife Service, and how much is being left to state agencies to address later,” said Marilyn Shifflett of Friends of Nelson. “This document is premature and incomplete and its conclusions defy science and logic.” In Nelson County, construction is predicted to take longer than a year, including creation of the landing and drill pad to be located adjacent to the entrance to Wintergreen and a still-unanalyzed 2.5 million gallon water impoundment on the Rockfish River. The bulldozing, trenching and blasting in areas of cultural and historical value in Wingina, Dutch Creek, Wheeler’s Cove and the Rockfish Valley have all been deemed “insignificant” by FERC. “The destructive effects on our economy, our roads, our water and our community are unfathomable,” Reed said. Confirming what Friends of Nelson has long maintained—and what independent soil scientists have affirmed—the FEIS tellingly asserts that “considering the historic and recent landslide incidence in the immediate project area…we conclude that constructing the pipelines in steep terrain or high landslide incidence areas could

increase the potential for landslides to occur.” Yet development of other slope instability/landslide risk reduction measures have not been completed and have not been adopted. “How can landowners determine what kind of impacts the construction on steep slopes will have if the details of how ACP is going to manage them are still ‘under development’?” asked Joyce Burton of Friends of Nelson. “And furthermore, why would Dominion be willing to put Virginia citizens and water resources at risk by building it?” “The most significant thing about this release is that it brings us one step closer to stopping the Atlantic Coast Pipeline,” Burton continued. “We have spent the last 3 years building our legal case, documenting the potential impacts to residents with expert economic and steep-slope studies and water quality analysis that clearly define the danger this presents to Nelson County. Now this is all coming to a head.” “It is inconceivable that anyone could conclude, as FERC and the USFS do, that the massive impacts of the ACP are ‘less than significant’,” Reed concluded. “This will not be allowed to happen.”

Music Festival: Enchanting, Enlightening and Entertaining

he first season of the annual Staunton Music Festival, “if you can call it a season,” says Artistic Director Carsten Schmidt, was just a handful of concerts over a weekend in 1998. “It was very small and it was very improvised and it was just a bunch of friends. There was basically no budget in terms of fees; it was like ‘we’ll buy the beer and treat you.’ It was very nice, but there was no ambition or plan of having it necessarily continue or become what it has become.” From small casual gatherings do much anticipated festivals grow. That first audience of “probably 30 people” has expanded in the 20 years since to the hundreds who pack the pews at the stately Trinity Episcopal Church and other handsome venues both night and day for what’s become an innovative
PHOTOS BY LES KIPP PHOTOGRAPHY chamber music festival with an international cast of musicians. “This will be my third year participating in the Festival,” says Eric Guinivan, whose Indian-inspired Jiya Learns to Dance will be receiving its world premiere, “and I can’t speak highly enough of it. It’s packed with truly world-class back-toback performances. Carsten Schmidt’s programming is quite special too—the festival features incredible variety, from period performances of Baroque music to classical and romantic masterpieces to hot-off-the-press contemporary works.” Indeed. The 2017 Festival, from August 11-20, will run the gamut from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony on period instruments to a 21st century composition for percussion and electronics. The Staunton Academy of Ballet will dance, Maryland’s Happenstance Theater will mime, and acclaimed German composer Moritz Eggert, a longtime friend of Schmidt’s, will offer insights into his work. With a
musical bill of fare ranging from beloved old chestnuts to intriguing new commissions, the 20th annual Festival will enchant, enlighten and entertain. Nine of this year’s 29 events are free one-hour affairs beginning at noon. Northern Exposure, on Friday, August 11 at Trinity Episcopal, features music by three Scandinavian composers beginning with songs by Edvard Grieg for voice and piano, and closing with his Wedding
Day at Troldhaugen (1896), a piano piece written to commemorate his own 25th wedding anniversary, arranged here for orchestra. In between are works by two lesser known composers, the Suite in f sharp for harpsichord by Christian Ritter (1645-1725), and the Sonata for Two Violins (2011) by Jouni Kaipainen. That same evening, the first of eight 7:30 p.m. concerts at Trinity is a Handel Extravaganza, an evening of George Frid-

long before midnight, leaving plenty of time for Handel in song, including the Coronation Anthem: “Let thy hand be strengthened,” “Angels, ever bright and fair,” “Va tacito,” and selections from Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day. Doors open for evening concerts at 6:30 p.m.; pre-concert talks begin at 6:40 p.m. Journeys and Landscapes, at Trinity the following evening, explores a diversity of landscapes, actual and metaphoric,
from the new and uncharted to the near and familiar. Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Suite from Les Indes Galantes (1735), for orchestra, may be translated as “The Amorous Indies,” and references a meeting of Native American chiefs with France’s King Louis XV. Johannes Brahms’ Alto Rhapsodie (1870) for singer, chorus and orchestra “is more about an inner journey,” Schmidt says, one “typical of 19th century romantic poetry” like Goethe’s.
Maurice Ravel’s Une Barque sur l’Ocean (1905), for piano, depicts a boat upon ocean waves, while Claudio Monteverdi Zefiro Torna (1632), for two tenors, violin, and continuo is based on a sonnet from the late 16th century by poet Ottavio Rinuccini in praise of the west wind. Kaija Saariaho’s Three Japanese Gardens (1994), is scored for percussion and live electronics. Moritz Eggert’s Croatoan III, for string quartet and bass drum, which

eric Handel including the orchestral Suite in D and G from his Water Music, written in response to a request by Britain’s King George I for a concert on London’s Thames river. Numerous boats and barges filled the river that night in 1717, one with the King and his party, another with the musicians, and the King called for the entire suite to be repeated three times.

will have its US premiere, takes its title from the 16th century Roanoke Colony in North Carolina, which vanished leaving the word “Croatoan” carved into a tree. Berdich Smetana’s beloved The Moldau (1874), which will close the evening, is a symphonic poem evoking a trip down Czechoslovakia’s Vltava River. German composer Motitz Eggert will discuss his work on the Meet the Composer program at Central United Methodist Church on Tuesday, August 15 at 3:00 p.m. “Many festivals are scared of programming new music because they think people don’t like it, or think they’re not going to understand it,” Schmidt says. “It helps a great deal to have a composer there to first of all show them that this is actually a person who wrote this, and then for them to be able to go up to them and say ‘Wow, what can you tell me about your piece?’” This year’s free family concert, at Trinity on Sunday, August 13 at 3:30 p.m., features Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf (1936), a “symphonic fairy tale for children” told here by a narrator, chamber orchestra, and dancers from Staunton Academy of Ballet. Preceding the ballet will be selections from the 2017 Musical Spark Contest, in which students in grades 3-12 were invited to “listen, imagine and create” stories and artwork in response to the music. That same evening at 7:30 p.m., Blackfriar’s Playhouse, the handsome recreation of Shakespeare’s indoor theater that is home to the American Shakespeare Center, will provide the setting
for Commedia dell’Arte, an evening of masterpieces and new contenders in a centuries-old comic tradition. It’s a tradition whose influence runs deep, as Happenstance Theater Co-Artistic Director Mark Jaster points out. “The comic status play of the old master/servant roles now may play out between the boss and employee, but the human comedy remains constant.” A Happenstance Divertissement riffs on a 19th
century routine based on a 17th century story, comic fodder for both the Marx Brothers and Lucille Ball. “There are some classical pieces, and even some composers you wouldn’t think of as being comical,” Schmidt says. “Bach wrote this very funny piece called the Coffee Cantata, about a man and his daughter who were addicted to coffee, which was extremely popular during Bach’s time in Leipzig.” Also on tap at Blackfriars:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Overture to La Nozze di Figaro, Darius Mihaud’s Scaramouche for clarinet and orchestra, Zachary Wadsworth’s farce The Doctor (a world premiere), and Eugene Kurtz’s farcical lecture/demonstration The Last Contrabass in Las Vegas. Hollywood Songbook may sound like an evening full of show tunes. Easily recognizable numbers like Leonard Bernstein’s Overture to Candide (1956) and Harold Arlen’s If I Only had a Brain (1939) from The Wizard of Oz—are both on the program at Trinity on Monday, August 14. But its genesis, Schmidt says, “was this idea that Hollywood was such an interesting place, in the 1940s particularly, because so many European composers had to leave Europe, especially Germany. They ended up settling there. The program was designed around these composers that so many people don’t know very well.” Most people know Charlie Chaplin, for example, but not that he wrote the score for his 1931 silent romantic comedy City Lights (arranged here by festival favorite Zachary Wadsworth and dramatized by Happenstance). Schmidt points out that Chaplin and the other composers on the program rallied to the defense of Bertolt Brecht, advocating on his behalf and holding benefit concerts to defray his legal expenses when he was hauled before Senator Joseph McCarthy’s red-baiting House Un-American Activities Committee. Those composers include Aaron Copland (Fanfare for the Common Man, 1942, for brass and percussion), Hanns Eisler

(Hollywood Elegies, 1942, for voice and piano), Igor Stravinsky (Polka: For a Young Elephant, 1942), Sergei Rachmaninoff (a selection from Suite No. 2, 1901, for two pianos), and Arnold Schoenberg (Ode to Napoleon, 1942, for reciter and piano quintet). Pranksters and Puppet Masters on Thursday, August 17 at Trinity at 7:30 p.m. picks up where Commedia dell’Arte left off, with some of classical music’s most memorable moments of “wit, humor, and outright comedy.” Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 in G earned its nickname the Surprise Symphony for the moment in which, as Schmidt puts it, “you scare people out of their sleep.” Snoozers beware. Eric Guinivan’s newly written Jiya Learns to Dance is scored for a sextet of flute, clarinet, percussion, piano, violin, and cello, and is inspired by Indian puppetry and classical music, specifically Kathputli string puppet theatre and Carnatic music. “While it won’t be apparent on a first or second listen,” says Guinivan, who teaches at James Madison University, “the music is conceptually organized around core principals from Carnatic music, most notably through the use of ‘reimagined’ ragas (scales) and talas (rhythm cycles). Jiya’s character is represented by the piano, while the rest of the ensemble represents the consort
of dancers. Thus, the music features a ‘piano vs. ensemble’ dynamic throughout most of the piece until the latter part where Jiya dances in harmony with the consort.” Till Eulenspiegel, einmal anders (1854) for violin, clarinet, horn, bassoon and double bass, by a Vienna music teacher whose assumed name, Franz Hasenöhrl, translates to “little rabbit ears,” is a winking deconstruction of Richard Strauss’ tone poem Till Eulenspiegel about an irreverent trickster figure from German folklore. Igor Stravinsky’s neo-classical Pulcinella Suite for orchestra is taken from a ballet about a 17th century Commedia dell’arte character, and will be pantomimed here by Happenstance, with costumes by artistic Co-Director Sabrina Mandell, twice the winner of the Helen Hayes Award for costume design. “The original ballet enacts a rather convoluted comic tale of courtship, betrayal, mistaken identity, humiliation and forgiveness,” Jaster says. “We are simplifying it to accommodate our five-person ensemble, the simpler score of the suite and the stage space at Trinity.” A 20th anniversary season deserves a joyous finale, like Ludwig van Beethoven’s thrilling choral setting of Friedrich Schiller’s “Ode to Joy” at the conclusion of his Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125. Schmidt will lead
a period-instrument performance of the great Romantic composer’s final symphony at Trinity at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 20. Programming of this depth and variety attracts an international group of musicians, many of whom return again and again. Finnish Pianist Heini Kärkkäinen is back for her fourth straight year. “My dear friend and colleague Carsten Smith has created a great festival with fantastic programs,” Kärkkäinen says. “There are many pieces I am looking forward to playing. I feel very close to the Slavic music of Rachmaninov and Scriabin” (8/19), “and the French colors from Fauré and Ravel” (8/17 and 8/12). “Une barque sur l’Océan is one of the most beautiful and colorful pieces of Ravel. In the middle of the waves there comes a plaintive and nostalgic melody, which is so touching in its purity. This work has
been very special in my life. Last minute changes in the program gave me two more wonderful pieces to play, Dvorak’s “Dumky” Trio (8/12), which is such great music, powerful and gypsy, and Faure’s La Bonne Chanson (8/17). Music lovers visiting from afar—26 states and Europe last year—discover a city with an artistically adventurous populace in a charming, Blue Ridge Mountain valley setting. “It’s a very supportive and pleasant environment,” Schmidt says, admiring the fact that a city of less than 25,000 residents would support “a really out there repertoire vision. There is also a big tradition of theater in Staunton, which means there are people who enjoy being challenged and entertained. It’s a rich place in terms of venues and architecture; I think that’s a big part of having been able to attract our very sizeable audiences. Of course they come for the music, but they also really enjoy Staunton.” For Kärkkäinen, for whom August in Virginia “gives a new summer for a Finn who is used to the cold summers,” the “spirit in Staunton is very special. The public is very open and warmhearted. The spirit of the music is being shared with the performers and the listeners with a touching connection. That is what it is about, sharing something together!" n

urniture that isn’t new goes by many names: previously-owned, second-hand, or even antique. We’ve always called it “very early heirloom”—that wobbly-legged chair from my grandmother, the many-times painted dresser from my in-laws, and the heavy, gouged round oak table from my parents’ attic. But in each case, the price of free was absolutely right and my Mr.-Fixit husband is an expert in paint-stripping, sanding (and sanding and sanding), and staining. In fact, when my father saw that now-handsomely refinished round table, I could tell—although he didn’t say a thing—he’d have liked to have it back.
moving or downsizing. Its meandering warehouse is stocked with affordable antiques, quality used furniture, and funky vintage pieces. “We buy a lot from just people,” explains Circa’s Robin Slaats. “We like finding new homes for their things.” This is a very short list. Our area also has several warehouse-type “antique marts” offering everything from true antiques to just plain used furniture. For example, the Ruckersville Gallery’s website features photos of goods where more than 80 vendors show their wares and estates often consign things for sale although prices are not generally shown. In addition, a number of local consignment shops and thrift stores have frequently changing stocks of reasonably priced used furniture. A few minutes exploring the Internet will show you almost endless possibilities for just the piece you seek.
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
HOUSE & HOME
Why Choose Used? You save money. Except for true antiques, secondhand furniture is usually less expensive than an equivalent new piece. In fact, you can often find substantial bargains. Be ready to pay cash and take the piece of furniture with you right away if you score a great find. You’re supporting sustainability. While employing secondhand furniture is good for your wallet, it’s also great for the environment. It’s true recycling because it doesn’t require new materials or energy to be produced. Since it’s usually found locally, there’s no fuel used in shipping which also reduces pollution. You get real materials. Older furniture is usually made of solid wood rather than particleboard, plywood, or plastic. You can often find high quality used furniture for the same price or even less than you’d pay for inexpensive mass-produced items. Used furniture comes assembled, too, so you don’t have to puzzle over assembly instructions with those baffling translations. You get personality. Older furniture has character and individuality. Whether you paint over stains, or strip paint to get to a handsome grain, you make an interesting piece truly yours.
Where To Shop Garage sales, yard sales, and fund-raisers by local organizations are a great place to start. For example, one young couple, moving from a 900-square-foot apartment to a 3-bedroom house, had more space than dollars. They found a stained but sturdy round wooden table at a yard sale and collected four unmatched wooden chairs. After painting all five pieces a stylish flat black, they had a handsome dining set for under $90. Another man keeps an eye on Craigslist. He’s bought two handsome rugs,

a large German hutch with handcarved doors, a French music cabinet, occasional tables, and patio furniture, all from different sellers. “The hutch and the cabinet weren’t cheap,” he concedes, “but comparable new pieces—even if you could find anything half as cool—would have been four to five times as much.” Most offerings on Craigslist include photos with prices and contact is generally made by email. Recent listings: a mahogany dresser for $50, a wooden coffee table for $25, and a dining set including a table, 6 chairs, and a hutch for $225.
Habitat Stores carry new and previously owned furniture from antique to modern. A visit to the Charlottesville store on Harris Street found dressers, mirrors, doors, cabinetry to be built in, windows, flooring, ceiling fans, chairs, sofas, even a piano. For refurbishing furniture they stock drawer pulls, light fixtures from practical to elegant, tools to work with, paint and more. Check their website for photos of some of their inventory and for weekly specials. Circa, a Charlottesville institution for almost 20 years, draws people from some distance. Their inventory comes from auctions and individuals who are
When you buy from an individual, you may also learn the piece’s history.
If you are searching for a specific piece, carry the maximum dimensions with you. In addition, carry enough cash to seal the deal. While some places will accept credit cards, most individuals can’t, and might not accept a check either. Remember, you are competing with other shoppers and often dealers as well. Be prepared to dicker. Some places like Circa are firm priced, but others, especially if you buy more than one item, will negotiate or include delivery for larger pieces.
What To Watch For Solid wood pieces are usually pretty safe. Missing knobs or drawer pulls can easily be replaced and peeling veneer can usually be mended, but be wary of bad smells or wood rot. If you will be painting a piece, you don’t have to worry about water marks or burns, but always check that drawers and doors operate well. Upholstered pieces, on the other hand, are iffier. Check for pervasive bad odors and signs of insect damage or infestation.
The Bottom Line Previously owned furniture can help your budget and the environment at the same time it adds real personality to your décor. “Used furniture is unique, special, and different from everyone else’s,” declares Circa’s Slaats. “I never buy new stuff myself.” n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live near Charlottesville. He has removed countless layers of paint on many different items of used furniture to create handsome pieces in their home.

Artisans Studio Tour Includes Three Emerging Artisans on November 11 & 12, 2017
its emerging artisan program as a way to encourage new artists to expand their horizons professionally. Veteran tour artists wanted to “pay it forward” to the next generation of fine craftsmen. Experienced artisans identify people who could benefit from a mentoring relationship. The mentor works with the new artisan on developing a body of work, having the work photographed, helping them present the work for sale at the tour, and other tasks required to be a tour artisan. The program introduces a new generation of artisans to the public, ensuring the continuation of high quality craftsmanship in the Charlottesville area. This year the tour expands its emerging artisans program to include three up-and-coming artisans. Adam Mc Neil (in his second year in the program) and Sherri Raffaele will join tour veteran Noah Hughey-Commer in his Lovingston studio. The three potters encourage one another by firing their work together in Noah’s wood-fired kiln. It is exciting to see how these young craftsmen influence and inspire each other. The third emerging artisan, Adam Childress from Richmond works in glass. He will join Kirk McCauley in Kirk’s woodworking studio in North Garden. Adam’s glass and Kirk’s beau-

This year marks the 23rd year that artists will open their studios and collaborate to make a public showing of their work. There will be artisan demonstrations and opportunities to learn about the working processes throughout the Studio Tour. The tour provides an excellent opportunity to purchase the work of talented area artisans as unique gifts or for your own collection. Each studio provides locally sourced refreshments and fine hospitality. The studios and craftsmen are varied, but their commitment to the art of fine craftsmanship pervades the tour.

• Saturday September 9 and Sunday, September 10 at Camp Albemarle. The session will cover the fundamentals of stream biological sampling— catching and identifying aquatic invertebrates for the purpose of evaluating water quality and stream health. RCA’s StreamWatch monitoring program collects and analyzes stream health data, and provides information about stream conditions to local, state and federal decision-makers and the public. Volunteers are expected to commit approximately 25-30 hours during the first year of involvement, including initial training, stream-side trainings, and site monitoring. Dates and times of involvement are relatively flexible; training workshops are offered two or three times per year, stream-side trainings are offered spring and fall, and volunteer monitors may schedule their site monitoring at various times. An 18-24 month commitment is preferred, and volunteers are encouraged to adopt a site to monitor 2 times per year. The training is free, but class size is limited. To reserve a space, or for further information about the training, please contact Jessica Dodds 540-2238599 or email: jessicadodds@rivannariver.org. RCA is a nonprofit organization with participating volunteers from throughout the Rivanna River Watershed. For more about the Rivanna Conservation Alliance, visit www.rivannariver.org. n
